Callaway Gardens

Pine Mountain, Georgia
To replenish the body as well as the soul, Callaway Gardens provide an almost limitless array of recreational activities. Mountain Creek Lake beckons anglers with 175 acres of deep blue waters bull of bass, bream and other species of fish. Boats are available for rent as well as guided fly fishing through Callaway Gardens' own Orvis-endorsed fly-fishing program. Bicycles are available for rides along the refreshing 7.5-mile Discovery Bicycle Trail winding through the Gardens. And for visitors who would rather enjoy the scenery on foot, the walking trails allow a closer look at the plants, flowers and wildlife.

Robin Lake Beach, featuring 65 acres of refreshing water and white sand, is the largest inland man-made white sand beach in the world. It's also the site of the innovative Children's Center with a large outdoor playground, miniature golf, badminton and rides on the Robin E Lee Riverboat and miniature train. June through August, Florida State University's "Flying High" Circus performs daring feats and heart-stopping stunts daily, except Wednesday, under Callaway's "Big Top." The circus performers double as supervisors of the highly popular Summer Family Adventure program which treats families to activities and games each week during the summer.

The Callaway Gardens Resort features three 18-hole golf courses - the scenic Gardens View, the spectacular Lake View and the especially challenging Mountain View, site of the PGA Tour's Buick Challenge. The 9-hole Sky View course is perfect for families and quick rounds between other activities. The five-star tennis center has been ranked by Tennis Magazine as one of the top 50 tennis resorts in the nation. Racquetball, a lakeside jogging and fitness trail and state-of-the-art fitness center are also available.
